A Sofle Choc with mixed gray/red pro switches (lemmy.world)

The two are pretty similar, but to me red pro is just about the point where I can hold the key without thinking about it, which is a good trait for modifier keys.

Originally I used numpad as a navigation block, but I've since figured out that setting right thumb row to [MO(2)←→↑↓] / [▿Home End PageUp PageDown] works well for my purposes, so now it's just chillin'.

Assembled (complete with the pleasantly smooth photopolymer SLA case) by a local company (splitted_space on Telegram), originally with brown switches.

That. Is. Gorgeous. I want. I want badly.

Nice! Exchange the right knob for a track ball and you've got my dream setup

[-] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

How do you usually click with the trackball setup there?

[-] naught@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I have the moonlander so that's just a dream for me still. I have mouseclick bound to a key on a layer already though, so probably that

He does getcha-sketch navigation currently! :D

I've seen that there was a tiny trackball mod for Sofle, but cannot easily tell if any changes are necessary to get this working with Choc.

Myself I'd probably want a bigger trackball like fingerpunch's Faux Fox / Rock On builds have it.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
